If you are going to olive oil on your body, put it on right after your shower while you are still wet-its pretty thick.
Ive never used olive oil on my face, only vitiman E oil-but only at night, before bed.
It would be good to make a simple salt scrub with Kosher Salt mixed with olive oil, about a 1/2 cup of salt and about 3/4 cup of oil. Kosher Salt is a really grainy salt and takes a long time to break down, perfect for a body scrub.
Use it in the shower-from the neck to your feet, but be careful-it will be slippery!
Rinse off and towel dry-you will feel sooo soft!

Yes, it is. It's best to have a product made for the face that contains it, than to apply it directly to the facial skin. On the body, it is a different story. If you must apply it directly, apply a thin film and then wipe it off with a warm washcloth. Be careful of what clothing you put on over it-make sure it is dry, because it can stain your clothing.

Sure. There a number of products that contain olive oil. As for applying olive oil directly to my skin, I don't think so--too oily. I really like Kiss My Face (brand name) olive oil and aloe soap.

Olive oil is awesome for your face. But you need extra virgin (first press). There are companies like DHC that use olive oil in their products. DHC is the only brand I've tried and they are awesome. If you want to use it alone, warm it up a bit and use as a moisturizer by patting it after toning. It's also a great makeup remover.

olive oil is very good for dry skin and also hair,for hair you can mix it with castor oil(very little) and warm the oils and massage into hair and let it soak for an hour and then shampoo.For body also you can massage with warm oil and let it soak for sometime and then take shower.If you have dry skin on your face then use olive oil if you have normal or oily skin then use almond oil .

olive oil is ok to apply to the face as long as you don't already
have naturally oily skin.If you have acne I wouldn't recommend it
Another thing you can do it put Vaseline on your face before you
go to bed.It gets ride of dry spots and doesn't cause acne.

Kiss My Face was a big, rock-hard brick of soap. I thought it was more like Kiss My A**.

Yes. You can put it on your face but you will look shinny and slimy.
